Description
Some lowers are just a starting point. The Jack is a conversation piece. Sharps Bros machines this stripped receiver top to bottom from a single block of 7075-T6 aluminum and sculpts a viciously detailed half-skull into the magwell, so your finished rifle looks like nothing else on the rack. The Gen2 version keeps everything folks loved about the original and adds a threaded bolt catch pin, a bit less weight, and tidied-up styling.
What Sets The Jack Gen2 Apart
That 7075-T6 billet construction is the real backbone here. It carries a better strength-to-weight ratio than the 6061 you'll find on a lot of budget receivers, which matters on the one part of your build that ties everything together. The hardcoat anodize finish is done to MIL-A-8625, the same anodizing spec used across military and aerospace gear, so it holds up to handling, weather, and years of range trips without looking beat.
Building On The Jack Gen2
This is a stripped lower, so it gives you a blank canvas. It's fully compatible with mil-spec internal parts and plays nice with aftermarket mil-spec uppers, meaning your favorite lower parts kit, trigger, and upper group go in without drama. The oversized integral trigger guard leaves room for gloved fingers, and the beveled, flared magwell speeds up reloads. It runs GI-standard mags, PMAGs, Hex mags, and other standard capacity magazines.
Getting Your Jack Gen2 Running
Since it ships stripped, you'll need a lower parts kit, a buffer assembly, and a stock to finish it out. The multi-caliber marking with bullet pictogram selector markings means it's ready for whatever you feed the upper, whether that's a classic .223/5.56 setup or something like .300 Blackout. Pair it with the upper of your choice and you've got a build that stands out for all the right reasons.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Jack Gen2 compatible with standard mil-spec parts?
Yes. The Jack Gen2 is machined to work with all mil-spec AR-15 internal parts and mates up with aftermarket mil-spec upper receivers. Your standard lower parts kit, trigger, and buffer components will drop in as expected. It also accepts GI-standard magazines, PMAGs, Hex mags, and other standard capacity mags.
What do I still need to finish this build?
This ships as a stripped lower, so it's just the receiver itself plus the included threaded bolt catch pin. To make it a functional firearm you'll need a lower parts kit, a buffer assembly, and a stock of your choosing, along with a complete upper. That flexibility is the whole point of starting with a stripped lower.
What calibers will The Jack Gen2 work with?
It carries a multi-caliber marking with bullet pictogram selector markings, so it's not locked to a single chambering. The caliber is really determined by the upper you pair it with, whether that's a .223/5.56 setup, .300 AAC Blackout, or another AR-15 pattern option. The lower handles them all the same.
Why choose 7075-T6 aluminum over 6061?
7075-T6 is a peak-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy with a stronger strength-to-weight ratio than the 6061 found on many entry-level receivers. On a part that ties your entire rifle together, that added durability is worth it. Sharps Bros machines The Jack Gen2 top to bottom from billet 7075-T6 for exactly that reason.
